Mobile view for sensors

Implements #32

@eremem: So upon investigation all code we add in /usr/share/pve-manager/js/pvemanagerlib.js also needs to go into /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Nodes.pm. One way to just to duplicate the code in the script, another is to make bash functions that can be called when writing to the respective files (if it's possible in bash). Another is to create a custom js file and call respective code from the respective files.

First suggest is absolutely the easiest, though a little annoying to maintain. Any thoughts?

With /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Nodes.pm do you mean /usr/share/pve-manager/touch/pvemanager-mobile.js?

I had a feeling we'd have to reuse the code in some way after I skimmed through the provided patch :/

As to including JS files ExtJS is quite antiquated - a script loader class will have to be used and include the external code in runtime. The idea with bash functions (maybe returning partial sed scripts for the resulting JS code) appeals to me more.

I'm barely familiar with Sencha Touch, but as far as I remember there are some differences in the declarative syntax. Is the framework-related code surrounding our code really identical to the desktop version?

Anyway, the idea of supporting a mobile version seems to require a lot of extra effort. It would be good to know how big the demand actually is. Maybe some kind of a poll in the Proxmox forum?

Yes, copy-paste error.

Ok.

I can try a text comparison to be sure.

Maybe, but so far code seems very similar, so should be quite easy to do. I already have it working, just need to get the 'sed' in place.

What bothers me is not this current case but that we would need a solution to avoid writing new code twice. But I assume that we both see this challenge quite similarly :)

[Meliox]

Yes, exactly. It also bothers me :)
